I’m sure I’ve seen this somewhere before, in an Association or Fantagraphics catalogue, but I’m not sure. Anyway, Worldwide Fred presents the Comic Blocks, a neat tool to create your own comic strip about daily office life and bring some variation in dreary daily routines.

Great graphics, too…

Truth in cartooning, as in Real Life

Ilah is one of those cartoonist who manage to capture Real Life in a few carefully chosen lines. She makes it look so easy, and still has me stumped every time I see one of her cartoons or strips.

The strip above might as well be drawn for life in the morning at Château Sparehed… Even if you don’t speak Dutch, the meaning is clear I think. If not, here’s a quick translation :

  • Hello son ! Did you sleep well ?
  • Mumble mumble mumble mumble…
  • Hello mommy…
